Pion photoproduction in a nonrelativistic theory

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-01-15 v1 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

The pion and nucleon mass differences generate a very pronounced cusp in the photoproduction reaction of a single pion on the nucleon. A nonrelativistic effective field theory to describe this reaction is constructed. The approach is rigorous in the sense that it is an effective field theory with a consistent power counting scheme. Expressions for the S- and P-wave multipole amplitudes for all four reaction channels at two loops are given.
